posted this in the Ruzic time attack thread (motorsport section) but thought I'd post here for you R35 nut-heads.

very wet out there today. only ran a few laps on the year old Bridgestones

I was slow as! I had never driven in the wet on track before, new-found respect for all those targa guys...

Nice video Mark,

It was interesting in the wet today - my 1st wet session. Its all good experience, so long as we keep it from hitting the wall. (Not all on the day were able to drive there car home today.)

It was such a tease - only one session in the AM on new slicks before the rain.

Many decided to call it a day after the 1st pm session, but I do wish i stayed out all day.

Just a pic of Mark on the straight:

thanks Bill. yes there was plenty of stoppages with cars coming off turn 1. One guy didnt leave the track looking too good unfortunately.

heres a shot of the R35 with the Mercury Nitto R34

too wet for me to handle.. I was on my way there but did a U-turn after calling QR.

Nice video though, sounds awesome when traction is lost!

Much louder without the carpet etc.?

yeah Drew its quite loud, I love the raw sound of the car inside now. turning around was a smart idea!

great day for racing at QR... the rain really tests all aspects...

love the video work, that software really makes it watchable and very interesting...

wish i was not stuck behind my desk today, would have loved to come out and watch...

ill be at the next lakeside event to catch up with everyone... Holidays woo hoo...

top stuff mark

pretty sure it is working, I had it in race mode which is pretty lenient. the car has more power than stock.

I am not sure how the Vbox interacts with the CAN bus but it is the same in the dry. the way the throttle pressure runs from 0-100% doesnt appear linear on the display versus what I modulate with the pedal in real time.

Understood mate.

If it really is obtaining more throttle than the V-box indicates then I could understand, but, I'd be looking to ensure it's not in Limp, they revert to RWD if so.

Edit; To qualify, I know you know, not being a smarty.

sure will be keeping an eye on it but I think it might just be power delivery. I probably should have been shifting at lower rpm's to be honest.

I will connect the COBB access port and download the codes to see if there are any transmission errors

never thought it for a second, I appreciate the constructive comments

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
